so i just read the skyrim article in the playstation magazine and i was depressed to read this...

"...clothing will be simplified, with outfits and armor sets coming as a single suit rather than separate parts."

i'm surprised that i haven't seen anybody else mention this... and i was wondering how other people feel about it.

i loved fallout 3 but this is one of those small things that bothered me about it. i felt fallout 3's armor system lacked the personal and customized feel that past elder scrolls games have had......and now i find skyrim will have this single suit system... and i will be honest... it gets me down....

so... how do you guys feel about this?

"It's worth noting, too, that Howard and his team seem to have thought of everything. As we interview them, we eventually run out of generalized questions and start to get increasingly granular. How much meat do we get for killing a mammoth? How about a giant? What are the inventory weight limitations? How complex is the clothing system? No matter what the question, they've got the definitive answers on hand (just its nose; a gross-looking big toe; players will be able to carry a lot more stuff than in oblivion, and clothing will be simplified, with outfits and armor sets coming as single suit rather than separate parts).

thats the second to last paragraph on page 57 of the july 2011 issue of the official playstation magazine... thats issue 47... the one with skyrim on the cover.

it should be noted that there is a lot of speculation that this information might be a mistake... and i hope that speculation is correct.... i want for this just to be a huge mistake.

Actually no, Pete Hines said recently- "Armor is comprised of separate pieces"

It thought that it had already been confirmed that Skyrim would not have a single suit armor system similar to Fallout 3, if it does then RPG's really have died with Bethesda taking a similar approach to many other game developers.

I'm pretty sure Bethesda would not be stupid enough to take one of the greatest aspects of Fantasy Rpg's and ruin it.

Exactly. Confirmed.

What article did you read such.. strangeness in OP?

Pete already confirmed they are in separate parts.

The devs already confirmed otherwise, so I'm thinking Playstation Magazine has made a mistake. Single-suit armor would really svck.

i hope you are right... and that i read this wrong... but i read it over and over.... and i just couldn't see what else it could be saying.... i hope that either i am wrong or the magazine is wrong....

does it really bother you THAT much...I'm sorry but that's a little..* swirls finger around his ear*

Anyone wanna confirm this is what it says?

i read it in the new "playstation; the official magazine." its the 47th issue.... july 2011.....it was the very last sentence of the second to last paragraph.... so that would be on the very last page.

Huh? Pete did say that they are seprate any way. Besides, seprate pieces of armour is te way to go to be honest. But if it did say that honest and true then let's panic.
I would suggest OP you re-read that article.

Honestly, yes. this would probably be a deal breaker for me. However, I don't think it's true.

So..what you're saying is, screw everything they put into this game, effort money changes (for good or bad) because they have suits..-_-

I wouldn't mind having a single armor as it would allow more armors into the game then what Beth could currently put in, the only major problem is that it would be a dramatic fundamental shift from what they have done in the past with the Armor and I'm pretty sure that the majority of hardcoe ES players would be outraged if this happened.

If it was true, I wouldn't play Skyrim. But I know Bethesda isn't that stupid.

Same here, if armour is put into one suit then that's the time for me to take a step back.

you guys are weird , the combi's you make with different armour sets doens't even look awesome or anything..just weird weird shapes that don't match the other weird shapes, weird colors mixing..

I wouldn't put it that way, but essentially, yes. Indeed, one BIG mistake can spoil a good game.

*awaits Dragonborn1 saying it is the best decision they have ever made*

seriously though, I wont believe it until I see a direct quote from the magazine, and even then they may have got it wrong, considering Pete has said otherwise.

yes, one big mistake can, like forcing you to play only as human ( ahemn dragon age 2) but..really..suits?

If so, you'd be the first to have the magazine here. Care to share more info with us?

July edition in june? cool.

this is what the paragraph says....

r this fool is lying
No, he isn't lying, a friend of mine let me read his mag (more like read it to me), but I think your right, the mag must have made a mistake. Or, that we can use both single and seperate sets. But there is always a chance that things can change between now and November, wheather the magazine was wrong, or somewhat right, hopefully, we will find out at E3

I really hope this isn't true. It would be the worst news I've heard about Skyrim. :shakehead:
